3 Key Points

What happened
Anthropic can begin formally marketing its much-anticipated IPO as early as Tuesday, even though last week's AI-related stock swoon briefly sent the Cboe Volatility Index above 25.
Why it matters
That volatility reading sits in a zone where listings are typically postponed, so proceeding would signal the offering is being sized and pitched as an exception to the usual cautious playbook.

Context & Analysis

The timing question hangs over Anthropic's listing because the market backdrop shifted right before its waiting period ended. Last week's swoon in AI-related stocks briefly lifted the Cboe Volatility Index above 25, and Matt Kennedy of IPO research firm Renaissance Capital said that is a zone where companies typically postpone their IPOs. Kennedy added that the size of Anthropic's offering and its investment case may put it in a different category from the average listing.

That size is the second thread. Anthropic is targeting an offering as big as SpaceX's record-setting debut, or bigger, Bloomberg News reported — a scale that, in Kennedy's framing, could insulate the deal from the caution that governs smaller listings. The company now has to make its case to investors that this is the right moment to go public, and to quell worries about risks that have loomed larger as the IPO has progressed.
